This very pretty, pre-unification, German,\u00a0Blue Label<\/em> B&S tenor<\/a> caught my eye the other day while I was\u00a0checking out eBay. The term Blue Label<\/em> is not actually the real model name, it is rather\u00a0the nickname that the on-line saxophone community seems to have developed to describe this pro model horn.<\/p>\n

Blue Label saxes were B&S’s top model from circa 1960-1990,\u00a0while the Weltklang was their intermediate level sax. It was only after the reunification of Germany in 1989, that B&S\u00a0began manufacturing\u00a0the 2001, Medusa, and other pro stencil horns that they made until 2005.<\/p>\n
